Guide: Mozilla Firefox Unattended

[ZileXa]

@totoymola

I prefer a clean Firefox... so I can decide myself what plugins/extensions/themes...

Your method seems good for this...

But how do I set the msi to silently install without the plugins/themes etc?

think this can be done with one switch since its already an option during installation

or (not so important) with just one theme and nothing else (Noia Lite)

and (not so important) is there a way to remove the flashplugin?

my RunOnceEx already installs Flash and Shockwave and I prefer this (easy if new version comes out)

i think u hv to make a guide on how to manipulate your msi through installshield.

ZileXa

what is your current version of flash and shockwave?

[ZileXa]

Shockwave 10.1 and Flash 7

but forget I mentioned it...

How do I set the MSI to silently install without the pack of themes etc? I know the /qn and /qb switches.

I quote:

Note: If you choose not to install the themes and extensions, you will have a basic installation of Firefox with Flashplayer plug-in only.

but how do I get this basic installation silently!?

meron problema kung ni install mo na silent ang msi mo. yon flashgot hindi gumagana. i tried on two computers na. i had to unintall and reinstall the flashgot again to make it work

@ZileXa

I'm sorry but I don't know how to do a custom install silently, but I can build a new one with flashplayer plug-in only if you need it.

@Astalavista

Aaaargggghhhh.. I have no Flashgot installed on my system when I created that msi.. So I didn't get the chance to try it. But you are right. It's not working for me either. Sorry.. I will try to build another one if I get the chance.

[ZileXa]

totoymola it would be very nice..

I use my unattended disc for a lot of different people... thats why I prefer a clean firefox.

What kind of guide did you get, maybe I need something like that to keep me out of trouble"lol", anyway was wanting to ask you a ? Are you having any bugs since you downloaded the Final version or firefox 1.0, I've been holding off for a few weeks to make sure they get all the bugs or of it , and now hear they may be coming out with a new version, getting almost as bad as MS. Sorry to take up so much time, would appreciate an answer though. Tks C.G.

What i would like to see is a clean firefox silent installer with a method to import an entire profile in (as default or otherwise, but preferrably default). that would be what i would like to see (a method to export profiles in a way to facilitate their import later would be cool in addition to this). anyone have any opiniosn on this?

That is my next project.

@SiMoNsAyS: I'm following your guide on the first post to make a default profile,

Why not create a silent SFX archive instead of:

REG ADD %KEY%\001 /V 5 /D "%CDROM%\SOFTWARE\FIREFOX\PROFILE.EXE /S" /f

And perhaps also:

%DEFAULTUSERPROFILE%\Application Data\

This way it would also work on other languages of Windows

no switch is needed if the comments of the archive is:

Path=%DEFAULTUSERPROFILE%\Application Data\
Silent=1
Overwrite=1

Or will this cause errors?

wow, 20 sites of posting for one program unattended.....

why using such a heavy way? i wrote a little autoit-script

for the german version:

run("setup.exe")
sleep(2000)
winwait("Firefox Setup", "Mozilla Firefox 1.0")
winmove("Firefox Setup", "Mozilla Firefox 1.0", 0, 0)
mouseclick("left", 365, 365, 1, 0)
sleep(500)
winwait("Software Lizenzvereinbarung", "Ich")
mouseclick("left", 37, 283, 1, 0)
sleep(500)
mouseclick("left", 365, 365, 1, 0)
sleep(500)
winwait("Installationsart", "Browser")
mouseclick("left", 365, 365, 1, 0)
sleep(500)
winwait("Komponenten auswählen", "Setup")
mouseclick("left", 365, 365, 1, 0)
sleep(500)
winwait("Installation abgeschlossen", "Fertig")
mouseclick("left", 205, 240, 1, 0)
sleep(500)
mouseclick("left", 204, 261, 1, 0)
sleep(500)
mouseclick("left", 365, 365, 1, 0)
exit

I too was also wondering about that.
